Category: good old days

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m obsessed with The Office. This scene is from the finale and it gets me every time. It’s so true…..we always look to the past and wish we could go back.

This past month has been one that reminds me of how important it is to live in the moment…to realize what you have before it’s in the past. Turning 40 was a big deal. I had mixed emotions about it…..it feels old but I’m also so grateful to have reached this age! I’ve seen levels of support from people that just amazes me, and makes me feel so extremely blessed. I was surrounded by so much love at the surprise party my husband and close friends put together to celebrate my birthday. I mean really…..seeing all the people there that mean so much to me and knowing they feel the same…..it was just overwhelming! And being a finalist in a contest and seeing all my friends and family voting like crazy….just wow! WOW!!!!

I’ve always been a person who tends to live in the past. Remembering things that happened, wondering what life would be like if I had changed something. Wishing I could go back and relive something. Feeling nostalgic over music or items. But I watched this episode of The Office recently, and heard this song on the radio that really put this on my heart:

Sometimes we focus too much on the past or the future. We don’t live enough in the moment….but I’ve been sitting here lately just feeling every day how amazing life is. And how blessed I am…. Life can be so amazing if we change our focus!

Thank you again to every single person who has been there for me. I have laughed and loved more this year than I thought was possible! I have several circles in my life….and love each one so much!
